Jones-Watson, and Jacob Batalon, as his best friend Ned Leeds. New to the Spidey universe are Jon Bernthal\u2019s Punisher (who recently appeared on Disney+ \u201cDaredevil: Born Again\u201d and is getting his own special), as well as mysterious new characters played by \u201cThe Bear\u201d Emmy winner Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas and \u201cStranger Things\u201d standout Sadie Sink. Cretton directs from a screenplay by\u00a0Chris McKenna\u00a0and\u00a0Erik Sommers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tA key dynamic in Holland\u2019s Spider-Man franchise has been his relationship to older mentor figures, including Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s Tony Stark\/Iron Man in \u201cHomecoming\u201d and the \u201cAvengers\u201d movies, while 2019\u2019s \u201cFar From Home\u201d featured Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s Nick Fury. Then, 2021\u2019s \u201cNo Way Home\u201d featured Benedict Cumberbatch\u2019s Doctor Strange and saw past Spider-men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield cross over into the MCU. Thus, Ruffalo\u2019s Bruce Banner would fit that role nicely; the O.G. Avengers character has yet to headline a solo movie, but the green-skinned giant had a prime co-lead role in \u201cThor: Ragnarok\u201d and appeared in multiple episodes of the Disney+ series \u201cShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tEarlier Friday morning, Sony and Marvel <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/spider-man-brand-new-day-tom-holland-costume-spider-man-4-1236476073\/\">teased Holland\u2019s new Spidey suit<\/a> in honor of national Spider-Man Day.
